The ingredients that need to be prepared are: pork, garlic, ginger, chives, pepper, corn starch, five-spice powder, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and 1 egg.

The first one: choosing meat. If you want to make good meatballs, choosing meat is a very important step.

You can neither choose lean meat that is pure meat, nor can you choose fatty meat that is completely fat.

Instead, choose pork that is 30% fat and 70% lean.

Because only meatballs made with lean meat and fat meat can taste more fragrant when eaten.

Second: Chop the meat. After you have selected the meat, you will start to chop the meat.

Chopping meat also requires tips and techniques.

When chopping meat, you must never use a machine to chop the meat. Instead, you need to choose to chop the meat manually with a kitchen knife.

Because the meat chopped manually will be chewier and more chewy when eaten, which tastes much better than meatballs made by a machine.

The third step: Make the stuffing. Chop the purchased pork into small pieces with a knife and put it in a bowl. It’s time to start making the stuffing.

Making the stuffing is the last step and also the most important step.

Wash the prepared chives and cut them into chopped green onions, and peel and mince the garlic.

Put it in a bowl first, add an appropriate amount of water and soak it for about ten minutes.

Never put it into the meat filling directly and stir. Let the onion and garlic become the onion and garlic water first, and then slowly add it to the meat filling.

This can effectively remove the fishy smell and increase the tenderness of the meatballs.

What needs to be noted here is that when the onion and garlic water is poured into the meat filling, it cannot be poured in all at once. Instead, it needs to be poured in slowly around the bowl, and at the same time, it must be poured in continuously with chopsticks.

of stirring.

In this way, the water can be completely absorbed by the meat filling.

Fourth: When the water for cooking meatballs is slightly hot, you can put the meatballs in. After the meatballs are put into the pot, don't flip them over in a hurry. Wait for the soup to boil and continue to cook until the meatballs completely change color and float on the surface of the water.

, throw in a few green vegetables, pour in a few drops of sesame oil, cook for a while, and then you can scoop it out and put it in a bowl.

The water used to cook the meatballs should not be too hot, usually around 80 degrees. That is when the water surface is just steaming, add the meatballs.

Production tips: 1. When stirring the minced meat, you don’t need to add too much starch, as long as it can be sticky. Too much starch will also affect the tenderness and elasticity of the meatballs.

The purpose of adding starch is to bind the minced meat together so that the minced meat will not easily separate when it is put into the pot.

2. The added ginger and scallion water needs to be added several times, so that the minced meat can be better and completely absorbed, so that the texture of the meatballs produced will be more tender and smooth.

However, the water should not be added too much. Just add about 100g of water per pound of minced meat. Too much water will also make it difficult for the minced meat to become sticky, so that it will fall apart when cooked in the pot.

3. When stirring the minced meat, stir in one direction. Do not stir irregularly, because irregular stirring will drain out the water in the minced meat. Stirring in one direction will enhance the flavor.

The meatballs will have the desired texture.

4. The stirred minced meat should be immediately put into a hot water pot and soaked until it is set, so that the meatballs can maintain their taste.

If the minced meat is left for too long, the water in the minced meat will be easier to drain out, which will affect the tenderness of the meatballs.

5. When the minced meat is cooked in the pot, the boiling water in the pot must not roll. Just keep it at a constant temperature and soak it to shape, because it is easier to boil the meatballs by rolling. Just cook the meatballs after they are shaped.
